Hi all
Have a 1991 350 Sundancer with 454 Mercruisers (carbureted). Both start and run fine. But when we shut down for an hour or so after running, the port engine will stat fine but after a couple minutes of idle will stall and not restart. Got it to do this at the dock today after a run and...
Hi all,
Been quite a while since I posted here. We are looking at getting back into boating and are going to look at a 1996 450 Sundancer on Sunday. It has 3126 Cats with 1300 hrs. Just wondering if there were any specific issues I should look out for or ask about.
Does this model have a cored...
Hi all.
This is our first season with the new-to-us 380 AC. Starting to plan the winterizing ritual and for the most part its not any different than our 400 Sundancer - except we now have the washer dryer. The manual says to basically pick the settings to hot and then cold wash, let some...
I have exactly the same problem. Spent hours trying to figure different ways to delete the files and finally gave up.
Hopefully someone has the answer.
What an awesome trip - hope all goes well. We sailed as a family for 15 years before moving to power - still miss it some days.
Fair winds and calm seas!
We just went through this when we sold our 400DA this spring. We did end up with another Sea Ray but it was not a single brand search. I have to say the Cruisers and Regals were impressive and in some areas I think way ahead of Sea Ray. There were some very clever features they have added that...
We finally launched our new (to us) 2000 380 Aft Cabin and got her moved from Algonac Mi to our marina in Sarnia, Ontario this past weekend. We had our 97 400 DA for almost 5 years and listed her last fall. That sale was done and finished by March.
Two details I was looking for in our next boat...
We had the same problem a couple of years ago. Running at 3200 RPM and suddenly the port engine dropped to idle and would not throttle up. Shut it down and started up again and no sign of the problem. Had the local Mercruiser tech run a full diagnostic at the dock and at cruise speed - nothing...
Hi all,
Looking for engine advice here.
We are looking at a 2000 380 AC with the 350hp CAT 3116's. Boat has 500hrs. I have requested the serial numbers to check the service history and check the 250 hr service was done. I was going to get the oil analysis done also. I am wondering the general...
Here is a link to a couple of pics from the long week-end. Mondays sun rise from our cockpit in Bridgeview marina was beautiful. Then we went out and anchored off Brights Grove (north end of Sarnia on Lake Huron). Its nice that the kids like to still be on the boat even as they approach thier...
Hi all,
I am having issues with my starboard engine fuel guage - it occasionally reads correctly but mostly reads about 1/4 tank low. I checked the gauge for loose connections - all seemes fine. I am suspecting the tank sender and went into the ER to look for the sender on the starboard tank...
Hi all,
OK , I have 1997 7.4 MPI Bluewaters - raw water cooled. Noticed a small oil deposit under the starboard raw water pump. These are the ones that combine the fuel pump. Smelled like gear oil. Called my mechanic who said they will need a rebuild but for the moment make sure the gear oil is...
